Abstract
Aim and Objective: To study the efficacy of individualized Homoeopathic Treatment in patients suffering from haemorrhoids and to assess change in their quality of life (Short Form-12 Health Survey)6 Methods: It was a single-centered, prospective, interventional study conducted at MNR UHC Homeopathic OPD in Sangareddy, from Jan 2018 to June 2018. At 0 day (Baseline) and 180 days standardized measuring scale were used like, SF-12 questionnaire, VAS and Anoscopic score. Homoeopathic treatment was given to patients suffering from Haemorrhoids. Result: Total 15 patients were included in the study. Statistically significant reductions of mean bleeding (90 days : 6.67, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.59, 12.74, P 0.0337; days 180: 21.33, 95% CI 8.58, 34.09, P 0.003 d = 14), pain (90 days: 2.33, 95% CI 2.33, 4.39, P 0.029; 180 days: 32, 95% CI 21.92, 42.08, P <0.01, d = 14), and anoscopic score from 0 day and after 180 days p 0.170) were achieved. Itching VASs reduced significantly only after 6 months (5.33, 95% CI 8.83, 2.29, P = 0.002, d = 14).Significant differences were also found in the Quality of Life (QOL)-SF 12 in physical domain [difference -19 (95% CI: -25.92, 12.08)], and psychological domain [difference -0.47 (95% CI: -7.84, -0.29](p ≤ 0.05). Anoscopic score at the end of the study it was less statistically significant. Conclusion: Individualized homoeopathic treatment has made significant improvement in the patients suffering from Haemorrhoids pertaining to the symptom’s severity and overall perception of QOL in physical and psychological domains.
